[vsl67]

I have a vl that has a lound screaching sound when turning left,not sure but I think its coming for back left brakes or maynot anyone got any suggestions ?

checked your powersteering oil lately?

[vsl67]

I checked it the level seems fine but the colour is not so good its black, I just got the car today

check your front rubber bushes, your power steering rack under the car for starters

[jatsvl]

maybe check rear left wheel bearing. and diff oil.

stop doing hand brakies LOL. check ya rubber do hickie under ya var

[harry3]

drain power steering fluid and replace, its self bleeding

while under car their should be a plastic tube to equalise air pressure in the rack, this is often knocked off by bush bashing and if missing will cause problems eventually

ok I will check and drain fluid etc, but come to think of I bought it of my friend who is 83 and he always like spinning the wheels so it wouldnt surprise me if he did hand brakeys

So Grandpa is a Hoon :P
Mine has a loud screaching sound when i full lock either way but its coming from the belt on the powersteeing pump as it gains a load at full lock :P

yer it sounds like metal on metal though, but I dont touch the brakes or can find anything rubbing ,but the rear pads do look a little low

Your not turing to hard are u??

bushes????

dont have big tyers with big mags???

shock or spring could be fked on one side..

ps. if ur steeering wheel shakes when u drive get a wheel alignment!!

[vsl67]

no its only on light turns ,the wheels are only 15's nothing much bigger than stock & no steering wheel shake

[Goon]

any rubbing marks on the body from the tyers???

are ur struts cracked???

[vsl67]

No none of the above

[Goon]

No none of the above

Still got the problem mate? id take it to a mechanic...

Just found the rear axel has movement in it when the brake caliper is removed ,I think the bearing is stuffed

[MX_Leigh]

just get a whole new diff. would probably be cheaper.i picked up a diff for my VL for $80 and its a peice of piss to replace.

[jatsvl]

and a bearing cost around $30
just do the bearing.

[vsl67]

I found a promblem with the passenger side axel , but when I went to replace it with a new axe out of a VL ,It was too long even though both of them were the short axel ?
Also since its a disc brake rear I was told the bearing had the drum brake seal in it ,it would cause the movement I have
But I havent checked that one out yet
